Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Ginseng Roots #12

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Abbott: 1979 #1 (BOOM! Studios) – On the eve of the 1980s and the Reagan Administration, Detroit is burdened with an oppressive darkness-both political and supernatural. It’s the start of the final chapter of the trilogy!

Birds of Prey #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue was what we expected hitting a lot of moments we’ve seen before but the interaction, personalities, and art, has us excited for more. The debut was a lot of fun and we’re expecting more for the second.

Clementine Book 2 (Skybound) – Clementine’s adventure continues in the second volume of this graphic novel series for younger readers based on the popular video game set in the world of The Walking Dead.

Count Dante #3 (Scout Comics) – The comic is the sort of true story about the martial arts legend. How much is fact and how much is fiction? That’s for you the reader to decide.

The Devil That Wears My Face #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – It’s Face Off meets The Exorcist and it’s so good. Watch our initial review.

Ginseng Roots #12 (Uncivilized Comics) – It’s the finale to Craig Thompson’s series that has him celebrating his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. It’s been an interesting series about a world so few of us know.

G.O.D.S. #1 (Marvel) – It’s a “bold” expansion of Marvel’s Gods and the first issue is… interesting. We’re expecting big things from this, so this is the chance to get in on the ground floor.

The Midnite Show #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt… that alone has us excited about this horror series about monsters of the silver screen coming to live and wreaking havoc on a small town.

The Night Eaters Vol. 2 Her Little Reapers (Abrams ComicArts) – The first volume caught us off guard with its horror roots. It delivered so many twists and turns, we’re excited to see what the second volume brings.

The Plot Holes #2 (Massive Publishing) – Sean Gordon Murphy’s new indie series’ debut was full of interesting ideas about characters in books who have to save other books. It was more than enough to get us intrigued to see what comes next.

Ranger Academy #1 (BOOM! Studios) – If you had a chance to join the Power Rangers, would you do it? We’re intrigued about this new series that expands the Power Rnagers Universe.

Transformers #1 (Skybound) – We’re Transformers fans and this comic already has sold out at the distributor level, so it’s hot, hot, hot! We’ve read it already and our review will be out Wednesday and we definitely have thoughts.

Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt, Bill Crabtree, and Jim Campbell scream with glee with The Midnite Show

Supernatural horror fans can scream with glee as Dark Horse Comics presents an entirely new taste of terror in The Midnite Show. The four-issue series reunites the creators of The Sixth Gun, Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt, and Bill Crabtree. Joined by letterer Jim Campbell, they tell the tale of a cursed movie production and the horror fans caught in the creepy creature crossover dead set on bringing their nightmares to life.

Basil Saxon is a legend among horror fans. Over fifty years ago, he vanished during a freak accident on the set of the film that would have been his masterpiece. The cursed film–God of Monsters–was never completed and has never been seen. But when a film festival shows footage from the long-lost movie, classic horror monsters manifest to wreak havoc and terror on the unsuspecting populace. A ragtag group of misfits must band together to stop the most famous creatures of all time and send them back to the realm of celluloid nightmares.

Readers get a front row seat to the kind of grindhouse gothic horror that you’d hope would stay firmly in the imagination, as the would-be victims struggle to survive in a world where the dangerous, infamous monsters of the silver screen have found their way into real life. Fans of The Sixth Gun, Harrow County, and Manor Black will enjoy a story that’s the most fun you can have while terrified.

The Midnite Show #1 (of 4) with cover (and interior) artist Brian Hurtt will be in comic shops October 4, 2023 The issue also features variant covers by Dan Brereton and Francesco Francavilla. It is available for pre-order now at your local comic shop for $3.99. Popcorn not included.
